Philosophy in the Flesh : The Embodied Mind and Its Challenge to Western Thought

41 reviews
George Lakoff, Mark Johnson

Basic Books, 1999

Linguistic and Philosophy together.
This is a scholarly work with all the bases covered. What Western Philosophy is from Descartes to Kant to modern philosophy and how this changes things. The linguistics and philosophy are both presented in very accessible language so that no background in either is a prerequisite. It is a very readable work for the non-scholar. Good read.

Metaphors We Live By

33 reviews
George Lakoff, Mark Johnson

University Of Chicago Press, 1980

A Case For Experientialism
This 1980 book by Lakoff (a linguist) and Johnson (a philosopher) represents an early effort in what they call "cognitive linguistics." In the authors' view, we live our lives according to our "conceptual" systems or systems of understanding. 'Meanings' are constructed by each of us in the course of our interactions with our environments which include our society and culture. For Lakoff and ...

The Ultimate Desert Handbook : A Manual for Desert Hikers, Campers and Travelers

21 reviews
Mark Johnson

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2003

It's the best desert hiking and survival book..
The Ultimate Desert Handbook is the best book on desert hiking and survival I have found, and I have read them all. That's not just my opinion, but also that of all my friends who like to backpack and hike in the desert. Unlike other books that claim to cover the subject of desert hiking and survival, this one actually does so. Water, acclimatizing the body, clothing and equipment, navigation, ...

Seizing the White Space: Business Model Innovation for Growth and Renewal

16 reviews
Mark W. Johnson

Harvard Business Press, 2010

Business Model Innovation
What I like most about this book is that it focuses innovation not on product, service, or even process, but on the engine of any company big or small: the business model. Mark offers a great framework for how to think about the "white space," which he admits is not a new term or concept, but which he redefines within the context of strategy as "the place where a company needs to operate with a ...

The Meaning of the Body: Aesthetics of Human Understanding

1 review
Mark Johnson

University Of Chicago Press, 2008

The embodied mind
A few years ago I read Mark Johnson's book 'The Body in the Mind' and enjoyed it, so I bought and read this new book. The author's main thesis is that meaning is not just a matter of words, concepts and propositions, but also draws upon images, sensorimotor schema, feeling, qualities, and emotions. He further holds that any adequate account of meaning must include aesthetic dimensions that give ...

Composing with Finale (Book)

4 reviews
Mark A Johnson

Course Technology PTR, 2008

An Excellent and Necessary Guide
This is simply one of the most useful after-market guides for any application I've encountered. Finale is both an incredibly powerful music notation program and also incredibly complex in its detail and unfortunately overly-complicated in its design. While the documentation that comes with the application covers everything in detail and depth, it is not well or clearly written, and its use of ...

The Body in the Mind: The Bodily Basis of Meaning, Imagination, and Reason

2 reviews
Mark Johnson

University Of Chicago Press, 1990

Profound and thorough exposition of embodied philosophy and Cognitive Linguistics
Of the work in embodied philosophy and cognitive linguistics, this by far the most careful, cogent, and through exposition. It is not light reading--it assumes a high level of education and a high degree of familiarity with Western philosophy, but it is profoundly rewarding. Johnson develops a theory of image schemas as the preconceptual links between our embodied experiences and our ...

Designing Enterprise Applications with the J2EE(TM) Platform (2nd Edition)

6 reviews
Inderjeet Singh, Beth Stearns, ...

Prentice Hall, 2002

Essential read for designing J2EE applications
A must read for seasoned professionals and those new to the subject. Invaluable insights and guidelines are detailed at every tier of architecting a J2EE enterprise application. I found myself frequently relating to the examples and wishing I had read this book to help with earlier projects. This would have saved hours of re-factoring because the authors have already detailed solutions to ...
